1986 Toyota Celica GTS review from North America
"Best designed car ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator needed a rebuild at 198,000kms.
Slightly rusting fenders since owned.
General comments?
I have concluded that this is the best car on the market today. It is economical, reliable, sporty, and it handles like nobody's business.
The options compare to a late 90's vehicle and it is so versatile. I managed to fit two full size mountain bikes into the back of it with the seats folded down.
Sure it's old, but it last forever.
